The Office of Communications seeks to keep members of the Huntingdon community informed and up-to-date on news and events on campus. To that end, we utilize the following vehicles for communication.

The Huntingdon Website

The Huntingdon website is maintained by the College webmaster (webmaster@hawks.xgcr.net) with content driven by the Office of Communications.  If you are searching for information on the site that you can’t find, please let us know. Accessibility to information and easy navigation are two of our foremost concerns. Certain sections of the site, described below, are especially helpful in keeping up-to-date with Huntingdon happenings.

Take Note

Important information and pertinent announcements are posted under the Take Note section, at the top of the screen on the home page.

Events

Stay current on what’s happening on campus by referring to this section on the home page, from which you may link to the main calendar and sort events by event type or audience.

Social Media

Links to the College’s Facebook (HuntingdonCollege), Instagram (@huntingdoncollege) and Twitter (@HuntingdonColl) pages are posted just below the scrolling student profiles section at the bottom of every page.

E-communications and News

The HC News

The College sends out a weekly e-newsletter, The HC News , that is disseminated by e-mail to traditional day students, faculty, and staff, and to alumni, friends, neighbors, and parents who ask to be included on the distribution list. To request inclusion on an e-distribution list  if you are not a full-time student, faculty, or staff member, send an e-mail to hcnews@hawks.xgcr.net  and indicate your relationship to the College through one of the aforementioned categories.  If you are a parent, it is helpful to know your student’s name, as well. To submit news , send an email to hcnews@hawks.xgcr.net.

News Releases

The latest news releases are posted on the “News” section of the website.

Sports Information

The Office of Sports Information office is part of the Department of Athletics.  Athletics news is posted under the Athletics section of the Web site.  You may sign up to receive athletics news releases by sending an e-mail to the sports information director at sid@hawks.xgcr.net.

Communication Services

Publicity

Share your news with the rest of HC by sending it to hcnews@hawks.xgcr.net. Your publicity request must include the event title, the name of the group hosting the event, the purpose or content of the event, the audience you’d like to invite, the date, time, place, and cost of the event (if applicable), and how to RSVP, if necessary.  Be sure to include an event contact person’s e-mail and phone number in the request.

Photography

The Office of Communication is always interested in publishing good photography of campus events. High resolution photos are necessary for print media; lower resolution photos can be used on the website only. If you have a photo that you would like to give to the Office of Communication for publishing consideration, email it to hcnews@hawks.xgcr.net. Be sure you indicate what the photo depicts and who shot it.  Please recognize that we cannot always give photo credit to the photographer and the College has the right to use the photo in any way deemed suitable once the photo has been submitted, with no compensation paid to photographers. To request photos for use in publications or to send a request for a photographer to be present at an event, send an email for that purpose, as well.

Publications

Huntingdon College Magazine

Huntingdon College Magazine is published annually near the end of the calendar year and is distributed on-campus and mailed to alumni, friends, and home addresses of current students. You may also read it online.  The magazine is produced by the Office of Communication.

Other Publications

The Office of Communication produces numerous College publications for use in College marketing, including posters, brochures, and materials used by the Office of Admission. If your office or organization is in need of a poster or brochure, contact the Office of Communication so that we can discuss your needs and determine the most appropriate way to meet those needs.
